Travel Day
Saturday - May 3rd 2025
Today was the big day and we traveled to New York City. Once we got up and
packed our belongings, we got picked up by the shuttle service and drove to
the airport. There we headed straight to the
Vienna Lounge
for breakfast. Since we still had plenty of time until departure, we got some
drinks and enjoyed the beautiful airport lounge. Finally it was time for our
Austrian Airlines flight to Newark in New Jersey. Our flight left on time and
after an uneventful flight we landed in Newark. Immigration didn't take too
long and soon an Uber took us to our hotel in New York City.

In Manhattan we stayed at the
Arlo Midtown Hotel
located just a couple of minutes from Times Square. We really liked the modern
touch of the hotel and although the rooms were rather small they were very
comfortable. After we checked in and refreshed a bit, we headed out into the
city to see Times Square with its huge billboards. First we got iced coffees
at Starbucks to battle the jetlag. Times Square was packed with people, but
still so impressive with all the lights and neon signs. We just strolled
around Times Square and soaked up the crazy atmosphere.

Later we got hungry and stopped at
2 Bros Pizza near our hotel
and got several slices of cheese pizza. The pizza was so cheap, but really
tasty. Needless to say it wasn't our last stop there. After our pizza lunch we
headed to CVS to get some bottles of water for the next days. The in-laws were
really tired by now due to the long travel day and so they called it a day.
Claudia and myself had still some energy left and decided to check out the
hotel's rooftop bar. Luckily we got a space at the bar and enjoyed a couple of
refreshing beers while overlooking Midtown Manhattan. A few drinks later we
also returned to our room and got ready for our first night in New York City.
